Introducing Chin Teo-Long Dream AW0910

CHIN TEO was born in 1985 in Muar, Malaysia. He studied industrial design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and graduated with honours in 2008. A lack of interest in commercial design spurred him to enroll in jewellery making and silversmithing at CAE Melbourne. A realization of his true passion pushed him to learn techniques and skills that has enabled him to create a first collection that is truly inspiring.

CHIN TEO “long dream” is a young designers fresh approach to contemporary jewelery.

The Label – CHIN TEO, vision and craftmanship

Chin’s work relies heavily on traditional “hands on” techniques that involve manual cutting, bending, soldering and hammering. The use of these techniques allow irregularites and unique detailing to be cast into his work. The exposure of flaw, the exploration of material characteristcs and the continual search of beauty within imperfection is the soul of CHIN TEO.

CHIN TEO is a niche market label with limited production. Each piece is unique and is designed for the individual who has a sence of appreciation for quality craftsmanship.
2009 Collection – LONG DREAM

“Long Dream” is inspired by master of Japanese comic horror, Itou Junji. It is based on the story of a man with an untreatable mysterious disease, which forces his dreams to become longer and more drawn out each night until the distinction between what is real and what is fabricated by the mind becomes lost.

Introducing Yohan Serfaty

French designer Yohan Serfaty is a master at manipulating leather to do whatever his imagination needs it to do. His leather coats and jackets are something you truly have to witness in person to understand why I lay such heavy adjectives upon him. From his womenswear and menswear collection you'd be hard pressed to find someone as meticulous as he is with leather.

Introducing Carol Christian Poell

Carol Christian Poell, an Austrian designer who holes up in a studio in
Milan's Naviglio district where he quietly designs an ultra-niche, cult
label that he doesn't always produce and only shows to the public when
he feels like it.
Carol Christian Poell, born in Linz in 1966, lives and works in Milan,
Italy. After having been trained as a men's and a ladies' tailor in
Vienna (Michelbeurn), he studied fashion design at the Domus Academy in
Milan where he also founded the production and distribution company
C.C.P. Srl together with his partner Sergio Simone. After having
presented his first men's collection in 1995, he developed his ladies'
collection from classical elements of traditional menswear three years
later. The distribution network for his articles of clothing and
accessories, which are quite extravagant in terms of production
technology, includes more than 40 dealers all over the world.

Damir Doma Interview

As part of a larger project we’ve been working on with The New Order magazine, oki-ni's Creative Director John Skelton caught up with Damir Doma in New York to talk through the label’s development, projects for the coming season and the launch of a new SILENT collection ...

'The reason we did this interview with Damir is for exactly the same reason that we do everything that we do, because we were extremely interested. For a few seasons now I’ve been blown away by his approach, execution and maturity for such a young designer. I also like the fact that he’s so natural and that he doesn’t roll around with a huge ego.

After spending a little bit of time with him on a few different occasions I realised exactly what the draw was for us. It’s because he’s a real person, down to earth and completely open to anything, but at the same time has such a strong sense of his own direction which is exactly how we try to portray ourselves as a brand. Basically, he’s a dude and he’s going to change the world.'
John Skelton, Creative Director, oki-ni

The full conversation between John and Damir will be featured in the 4th issue of The New Order magazine alongside a showcase of archive pieces from his first collection in 2007 to a preview of our buy for SS10.




excerpt from the interview

John:

Do you see your upcoming women’s line for Damir Doma mainline as an extension of what you’ve already got going on?

Damir:

For me it’s just one big thing, one big collection.

j:

I thought so, I’m glad you see it like that.

d:

There are certain products that we have for women and we don’t have for men and the other way around obviously but it’s really kind of one big thing.

j:

It’s going to be amazing I’m sure.

d:

I’m also going to do the buying of the materials in one go, it’s the only way that it kind of works with my process. I kind of want to control everything and to do it myself so I couldn’t split it up and do the men’s and then the women’s as a parallel, it wouldn’t work for me.

j:

I find that so exciting. I’ve got a real thing about a ‘unisex everything’. I hate boundaries or lines being drawn around anything, everything should just ‘be’.

d:

Me too. Men sometimes have problems with my collection it’s taken about two years to get to the point where everyone kind of gets used to it because in the beginning it was a bit disturbing for some people.

j:

Yeah, I think that is something that will get easier for people once more people start to break things down like that. I know within our store I get really excited when women come and buy product because our look isn’t a men’s look, it’s just ‘a look’, I love a girl in it as much as I love a boy in it and I’m not bothered who’s coming to take the product.

d:

That’s how I see it myself. When I start the season I don’t have a particular man in mind, it’s just a body.
